Steve plays bass guitar, acoustic guitar, and electric guitar, and also enjoys writing both praise songs and contemporary songs. He has played bass guitar for several Christian bands over the years and enjoys, running, lifting weights, and playing sports which results in his getting men and teens together in the fall for some friendly football or soccer.

Steve’s passion is to live out the Gospel by getting into the lives of other men by sharing and praying for one another, and sharpening each other. He likes to see leaders developed and released to their God-given ministry.
